Dear John,
As we approach the end of 2024, we find ourselves at a critical moment in our fight to protect the next generation from dark and dangerous cultural tides.
Right now, FRC is standing with our friends in Tennessee in a significant Supreme Court case -- United States v. Skrmetti -- that will decide whether states can protect children from experimental and irreversible gender transition procedures. Oral arguments for this pivotal case will be heard this Wednesday, December 4.
Our mission is to make sure vulnerable children are safeguarded from life-altering medical interventions driven by twisted ideology rather than truth and science.
I previously sent an email to you about how FRC submitted an amicus brief to the Court, urging the justices to consider the lack of scientific evidence supporting these procedures for minors and the importance of safeguarding children and parents. But now that oral arguments will be heard in just two days, we must pray that the Supreme Court will make a decision that is aligned with truth and protects our kids.
We are asking you to join us in fervent prayer for the Supreme Court's deliberations, for the lawyers arguing this case, for Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Thomas, Alito, Sotomayor, Kagan, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett, and Jackson who will decide this case, trusting that God will work in the hearts and minds of the justices to uphold the truth and protect vulnerable children.
We know that this fight won't be easy, but we believe that with your prayers and support, we can make a difference. Together, we can continue to fight for the truth, defend vulnerable young people, and hold back the forces pushing harmful policies.
Your generous gift today will help FRC remain a steadfast voice for truth and justice -- not just in the courtroom but in communities and churches nationwide. Right now, you can take advantage of a 2x Challenge Match, provided by generous friends of FRC. When you give, your impact will be doubled. Don't wait -- act now to multiply your impact for faith, family and freedom!
STAND WITH FRC
Your support is more crucial now than ever. The Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Skrmetti will have a profound impact on whether states can continue to protect children from dangerous, experimental medical interventions. The stakes are incredibly high, and we must ensure that every voice for truth is heard.
Dr. Jennifer Bauwens, Director of FRC's Center for Family Studies, joined me on Washington Watch two weeks ago to discuss how the transgender debate is affecting American politics. It seems that money and ideology are the main factors pushing this issue on our kids, not science . This is especially true as transgender surgeries stand poised to become a multi-billion-dollar industry.
"[A]gain, here we have another example of consumer driven practices that are not based on science," Dr. Bauwens said. "So, you can imagine how that plays out in the academic space and the scientific space when people are competing for money for tenure -- it's on and on. And so, we do address that in our brief, along with many other groups, that you can't trust the medical profession on this topic at this time."
Dr. Bauwens has previously testified before Congress against this radical gender ideology on behalf of Family Research Council. On Wednesday, she, representing FRC, will be speaking at a rally outside the Supreme Court building as oral arguments for United States v. Skrmetti are taking place.
We won't sit back and be quiet about this issue -- we must protect our kids from this predatory ideology. As Ephesians 5:8-13 reminds us, we are called to shine the light into the darkness. FRC will never give up in fighting to ensure children are protected, and families are strengthened across America.
Thanks to a generous 2x Challenge Match, your gift this Giving Tuesday will have double the impact. Every dollar you give will be matched, meaning your support will go twice as far in helping us protect vulnerable children and uphold biblical truth.
SHINE THE LIGHT WITH FRC
Every dollar you give today means we can provide twice the resources to parents, support twice the legal challenges, and reach twice as many people with the truth.
Don't hesitate -- shine the light with us today. And don't forget to pray for United States v. Skrmetti!
The power of prayer cannot be overstated. Throughout history, we have seen God move mightily when His people come together in prayer. Prayer changes hearts, opens doors, and makes the impossible possible.
When you pray for this crucial case, you're standing arm-in-arm with thousands of Christians across the country who refuse to surrender their children to the predatory ideologies promoted by the LGBTQ movement.
With your help, we can fight back twice as hard against the radical ideologies that threaten our children and our values.
Let's make this Giving Tuesday one to remember. Stand with FRC, double your impact, pray for this case, and shine the light of biblical truth today!
